Welcome to Litsy!

Obviously, I bought this based on the title. While it's kind of self-indulgent of the author, there are some valid, realistic life experiences that she's shared that can be valid, realistic ways to improve your own life. I'm not a twenty-something, so I'm not in the target market, but that doesn't mean I can't take something useful from her words. Buy yourself the f*cking lilies. #56-2023

Quite the ride...never guessed it

A story about words and the life of Esme Nicoll. A little slow to get started but I found myself wanting to know what‘s next with her. I wish the title included the lost words were women‘s words. Many people talk about wishing they‘d been born during a more simple time, but I (and this book) will tell you the turn of the 20th century wasn‘t simple for anyone. Book #56 in 2023

23 #56 Interesting enough to keep my attention. I have a feeling that was greatly in part due to Saskia Maarleveld.

Book #56
4/5
This is a pretty good rom-com, with a bit of extra depth - it had me questioning the complex nature of relationships, and just how much an individual's past experiences in relationships affects the outcome of new ones.

This is #56 in the series and I am amazed that I have not bored of these characters or mysteries. The story has Eve taking on the A-list Broadway crowd, as she tries to determine who poisoned a man, and if he was the intended target. As always I recommend you start with the first in the series, “Naked in Death“ as the back story to these characters is important. While this wasn't my favourite of the series, it still rated 4/5 stars.

I gotta say..I like Alex Cross

An interesting collection of fictional remiscences from Hemingway's life in Paris. #56-2022

Good book, can‘t wait to continue! #Roll100 #56

I need to point out the inclusivity here: Apollo is bisexual, and it‘s no big deal. His history and current attractions (which are marginal but present b/c he‘s a mortal teen) are just part of him. We‘ve got a lesbian couple with a child, too. And it‘s all just part of the story. It‘s awesome! The first book addresses Apollo‘s attitude toward his son dating a boy, and he basically just shrugs 👇🏻

Yay! June #roll100 picks got posted early (enjoy your travels, @PuddleJumper !)

#15 is Virgins (the second book set in a Catholic school that the dice have chosen for me 😆)
#56 is The Kin of Ata are Waiting for You (apparently a new age-y trip?)
#62 is Life of Pi (probably the last person on Earth to read this!)

I don‘t remember where I heard about Virgins and The Kin- they‘ve been on my TBR since I was a teenager. Hopefully no more bails 🤞
